Murray and Carter Get the Call
Eddie Murray and Gary Carter have been voted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, with about 85% of voters supporting Murray's induction and around 75% supporting Carter's. PSA's Joe Orlando takes no exception with the outcome, but he has to wonder... why wasn't there 100% support for these fantastic players? Sure, they weren't legends like Ruth or Mays, but who is? Maybe it's time to adopt some more realistic expectations. Click here to read more.

Question:
Now that Eddie Murray is a Hall of Famer, does that mean his cards will go up in value?

Answer:
Not necessarily. Eddie Murray was considered by many to be a shoe-in for the Hall so his cards went up in value long before he received the call. Similarly, a player who looks to be on the verge of breaking a record will see their cards peak long before they actually reach the record.
